#Fridayreads and Weekend Challenge

Welcome back to another round of #Fridayreads and Weekend Challenge. I have said before and I will continue to say it, this is by far the best day for blogging because I just feel so inspired to blog. What better to in a week then to blog about you upcoming weekend with what you plan on reading. Now onto some disappointing news in the form of another extended vacation from the blog, I have plans to visit some friends of mine and I most likely won't get to read a whole hell of a lot. So, I will be taking a break starting this Monday until I log back into the blog. What does that mean? It means actually what means I won't be blogging for at least a week, maybe longer depending on when I remember and decided on blogging again. Another reason is I will be starting my first career job in October so, I will be busy getting into a routine on the job.

Without further hesitation I give to you my #Fridayread and my Weekend Challenge for the September, 20th. I am currently reading EONA and the Host. I have planned to get to at least one or two chapters into both novels before the end of the weekend. This has been your surrogate crazy signing off, live in let live.

#Fridayreads and Weekend Challenge

I am sorry that I didn't post on Wednesday, but I wasn't feeling up to the blog status for that day. However I have wonderful news and my spirits are high and I have never been this excited in a long time. I have heard back from an employer, whom offered a position to me and of course I said yes. So, what does that mean for the blog and my reading hobby. Well first and foremost my career takes president over the blog, but I will still try to post on a decent schedule and time on the Monday, Wednesday and Friday format. I might just be skipping a couple of weeks here and there because I am swamp at work and can't blog those days. Positive aspect would be I am able to purchase some more books grant the books I purchase are the authors that I know and love; this will allow me to have some book hauls on the blog. I will still do the other episodes on the blog which bring me too today episode of #Fridayreads and Weekend Challenge.

This Friday I will differently finish EON and start EONA so, I am able to check off a completed series. Now I still have some other books that I have started, but have pick up in awhile I am still planning on reading those as well, but this series EON and EONA is quite good hence the reason for finishing this series over the other books started. What are you currently reading and challenging yourself to accomplish? This has been your surrogate crazy signing off, live in let live.

Wacky Wednesday

Welcome to another episode of Wacky Wednesday, where anything is possible and everything happens for a reason. I am here to say that I am going on a little hiatus for five days so, I won't be able to post the #Fridayreads and Weekend challenge for this week. However I will provide a challenge for this weekend and I challenge myself to read at least a hundred pages of a new novel. What am I thinking starting a new novel when I have started a few already? The case in point is that I am going on vacation and I want to bring along a novel that I know for a fact that I will be into reading rather than a novel that is boring or slow pace like the current reads that I am reading. When I get back on Monday I should have an interesting post about what I have finished or nearly finished. This has been your surrogate crazy signing off, live in let live.

#Fridayreads and Weekend Challenge

Let another Friday down in the year and tons more to go until next year. In this weeks episode of #Fridayreads and Weekend Challenge I once again catch myself rinsing and repeating what I have been saying or more like typing for the last couple of Fridays. I am currently still reading The Thousand Orcs, the Host and Slaughterhouse Five. These novels are good, but they differently put me in a bad reading slump that is hard to dig myself out. Also, I have been preoccupied with Youtube and video games instead of reading the novels that I have picked out for myself. Hopefully I can get back to a more regular reading schedule because I finished the game I was playing which was Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. That is the reason I have been failing at my Weekend Challenges, but I think this weekend I will succeed because first and foremost I will be challenging myself to read two chapter in The Thousand Orcs only. I wish you luck in your reading and future endeavors. This has been your surrogate crazy signing off, live in let live.

#Fridayreads and Weekend Challenge

Another Friday and weekend to boot, its time for another episode of #Fridayreads and a Weekend Challenge. This post is going to be a little short, but to the point. I enjoy posting on Friday because I love to share what I am currently reading and challenge not only myself, but you as well.

This Friday I am still chugging through The Thousand Orcs, the Host and Slaughterhouse Five. Hopefully I can finish one or multiple over this Friday and weekend. Now for the challenge that I issue to myself and my readers is to read at least two chapters in any of your current novels. I am challenging myself thou to finish part II of The Thousand Orcs because that novel is divided into four parts. Good luck on your challenge and have fun reading.

#Fridayreads and Weekend Challenge

Sorry that this post on this specific Friday was a little late and behind in the time. Being Friday ya'll know what that means its another episode of #Fridayreads and a Weekend Challenge from your wonderful and wacky surrogate crazy. For this particular week pasted, I started two new novels and still chug along with the Host.

For this #Fridayreads, I have selected to continue reading The Thousand Orcs, Slaughterhouse Five and the Host. That is three novels that I am currently reading which is by far the most I have ever attempted to read at one give point in time. However I will only be focusing on one novel and occasionally be reading the others throughout the weekend and upcoming weeks.

For this Weekend Challenge, I will do has I suggested above and focus on one novel and read the other sparely. The Thousand Orcs is the novel that I choose to focus my attention on by reading at least one hundred pages or more. As for the other novels I will try to read one chapter in each for this weekend. I look for to another fascinating Update Monday, which will be upload a little later than normal because of errand throughout the day.

#Fridayreads and Weekend Challenge

Its Friday once again and we all know what that means, it's time for another installment of the popular #Fridayreads and my personal feature Weekend Challenge. Before I even get to those features I would first like to say that I am differently in a reading slump. Now this blog is actually helping me not stay in a deep reading depression rather a more mild reading recession because the blog reminds me that I eventually will have to have another review to post in order to continue this blog.

Here is for all the hope and luck in the world that I am able to pull myself out of this slump with this Friday and weekend. Now I am still reading the same books that I have been reading for the past couple of Fridays. For today on this #Fridayreads, I am currently reading Clockwork Angels and the Host. I have only read about two chapters in the Host and I am half way through the other novel.

For the Weekend Challenge, I want and will challenge myself to finish Clockwork Angels that is it for the challenges. I know what you are thinking where is the Host challenge? Well I plan on reading that to this weekend, but only when I pick the novel and I have no plans to reach a certain page number or chapter I will just read for the sake of reading. This has been your surrogate crazy signing off, live in let live.

#Fridayreads and Weekend Challenge

Fridays are always the best part of any week. Wouldn't you agree with my undertaking? I mean Fridays is the start of the weekend and for some people its the end of the work week and allows for those people to spend their hard earn money. What better way to spend money than to support the publishing industry by purchasing countless novels to read for the upcoming weeks on and your Fridays and weekends. This is one reason while #Fridayreads was created and has been taken to a whole new level with hundreds of thousands of people #Fridayreads their reading schedule on twitter, youtube and other social media platforms.

For this Friday, I plan on continuing reading Clockwork Angels and the Host. Now, Clockwork Angels is differently the novel that I have a higher priority in reading because I am most of the way completed. The Host on the other hand is a lower priority and I just don't feel into reading that particular novel at the moment.

That being suggested I also have my weekend challenge plan for this weekend. I know last weekend I failed horribly at my challenge, but this weekend I plan on completing my challenge. This time around I plan on finishing Clockwork Angels and reading at least two chapters in the Host. After finishing Clockwork Angels I think I will challenge myself to started the next book by reading one chapter of a new novel on my TBR. That is this weekends reading schedule and challenge; this has been your surrogate crazy signing off, live in let live.

#Fridayreads and Weekend Challenge

Another Friday is upon us and you know actually what that means. Its #Fridayreads and Weekend Challenge time. I love when Friday rolls around because of these two events that I host on my blog. Did you know that #Fridayreads was conceived by Patrick, who tweets as @JustBethanne, in which people reveal what they are reading that Friday and over the weekend.

For this #Fridayreads I have decided to continue reading Clockwork Angels and the Host. During the weekend, I plan on challenging myself to take my #Fridayreads books and either finish Clockwork Angels or just read two chapters of both of the novels. This has been your surrogate crazy signing off, live in let live.

Update Monday

You know what time it is its Update Monday. The one day in the week where I present what I am currently reading, what I did over the weekend and if I complete that challenge that I made on #Fridayreads. Occasionally, on Monday I will have review to be posted because I finished a novel that I was currently reading with only having one to post reviews allows for review to somewhat build up because I could finish a couple of novels in a week time, but most likely not.

First things is I would like to congratulate myself on another job or challenge well-done because I am nearly finished with Magyk and I started the Host. Magyk was differently the book that I read most over this past week because it was just so addicting and I couldn't put the book down. On the other hand, the Host was a different story altogether because I could really only read a couple of chapters. At this rate the Host is looking similar in reading style to Night Magic in which I will have to take the novel a bit slower than normal meaning the Host will take for ever to finish, but I am okay with the outcome.

Do to my recent obsession with Magyk I plan to have that novel finish later on today or early tomorrow. That being said I have already select the next book that I plan on reading after Magyk and the selection from the Cup of Titles came forth Clockwork Angels. Now Clockwork Angels is not the Cassandra Clare's novel, but rather the novelization of the Rush album, Clockwork Angels. This has been your surrogate crazy signing off, live in let live.

Blog Status

Hello followers, viewers and just plain readers I have finally got caught up with my reviews from Goodreads. That means I can finally get to what I want this blog to be and that is being able to post on a regular schedule and occasionally post on a random not scheduled day if something of quite amazing happen in my reading schedule such as purchasing a book that I have been waiting countless days to possess or finishing a novel and letting you guys know about it, but I won't review books until Update Monday.

Having a schedule will help me to keep this blog going beyond what I have done before because I have started a couple of blogs before and none of them ever really struck around. The reason being because I think I was just blogging for the shake of blogging; this blog is a little I still blogging just to blog, but I have some passion in this subject to keep this blog up-to-date. Now, I try to keep up with the trend in popular fiction, but I don't go out and strive for the popular I read and buy what I love giving you reviews from popular and non-popular novels allowing for a more honest review.

My posting schedule can be found on my introduction post or down below:

• Update Monday - where I update what I am currently reading, if I accomplish my Weekend Challenge, finished a novel or in a separate post a review if I have one.
• Wacky Wednesday - where I do book hauls, book tags, discussion and favorites
• #Fridayreads and Weekend Challenge - where I show you what I am reading on Friday and give to you my challenge.

#Fridayreads and Weekend Challenge

Sorry that this is a little late on the posting. I almost forgot to post a #Fridayreads and Weekend Challenge this week. Reason being is because this week has been a literal hell; that being with my brother getting a transplant and dealing with being the only person in the home I don't feel like doing a whole lot.

For reading I gotten a good way in Magyk, but I have yet to start the Host. Hopefully during this Weekend challenge I will focus on reading the Host and getting further along and maybe even finishing Magyk. I know that finishing Magyk would be a tall order because its around 500+ pages, but the pacing of the novel is quite adept at being fast. The Host on the other hand is the novel that is scaring me half to death because I don't want it to put me in a reading slump.

For this #Fridayreads, I am reading Magyk and the Host.

For this Weekend Challenge, I challenge myself to read the first fifty pages of the Host and to continue to progress throughout Magyk to chapter 20.

#Fridayreads and Weekend Challenge

Another Friday is upon us and you know actually what that means. Its #Fridayreads and Weekend Challenge time. I will say I think the best time I have blogging is during my schedule posting time of Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I especially love when Friday rolls around because of these two events that I host on my blog. You know that #Fridayreads was conceived by Patrick, who tweets as @JustBethanne, in which people reveal what they are reading that Friday and over the weekend.

For this #Fridayreads, I would love to finally announce that I am not reading the same two books from the last couple of Fridays. I finally finished Inheritance and I have plans to finish Vampire Diaries: Dark Reunion this weekend. I am also currently reading Inferno by Sherrilyn Kenyon in which I will most likely finish the novel this Friday. I will have reviews of all these books that I plan or have finished up on the blog in the line up of upcoming reviews so have no fear.

With my #Fridayreads done and announce, I move to the other feature which is this Weekend Challenge. I challenge myself to be reading two new books after finishing Vampire Diaries: Dark Reunion and Inferno. This challenge is a mighty fine order for myself, but I think I am up to the challenge.

The Demon King Review

Welcome to another day on this wonderful earth of ours. This day is quite special because I finally finished Inheritance so, you won't see it in this weeks #fridayreads. What better way to celebrate finishing an epic fantasy than to post a review of another epic fantasy novel series. I personally love epic fantasy because its more easily able transport you to another realm where magic thrives or your imagination is the true weapon. I think that is why a lot of people tend to enjoy fantasy novels and series because they are and easy escape from their otherwise complicated life.

Life is hard I know and you know this and most people want to relax. They enjoy reading about someone else problems and determining what might happen to those characters later on in the story. It provides a relieve for at least a couple hours before the reader has to deal with their own problems. The authors whom writes fantasy novels provide to us that escape that we all disparate want and need if not just for a little while.

Cinda Williams Chima is a master story-teller. This novel was amazing, awesome and downright excellent. Magic and politic merges to create a wonderful story filled with a humble thief, hard-headed princess and power-hungry wizards. The Demon King has everything a fantasy lover enjoys and more. The characters in this novel both the main and minor are written surprisingly well and you will love or hate them. All in all, the Demon King is a must read.

#fridayreads and Weekend Challenge

The concept of #fridayreads came from Patrick, who tweets as @JustBethanne, in which people reveal what they are reading that Friday and over the weekend.

This is going to be kind of short and to the point. What I am reading this Friday is just as boring and same as before. I told you that I am a slow reader and I don't really read has offered has I should be reading, but when I do sit down to read and if I'm excited about the novel that I am reading I tend to read multiple chapters and pages in a single day. I wish that I could get into the habit of reading everyday, two chapters a day. I have tried doing that, but I always in up failing before I even get started. However I have been challenging myself with a Don't Break the Chain challenge in reading in which I set out everyday to at least read something be it the novel that I am reading, a blog post or a fan fiction of something.

This Friday I am currently and still reading Vampire Diaries: Dark Reunion and Inheritance. Hopefully I can get further along in both of these novels this weekend. That bring me to the weekend challenge purpose of this post. This weekend I challenge myself to once again to two chapter in Vampire Diaries. Now the big challenge will involve Inheritance, I want over this weekend to get to page 600 hundred which is approximately 150 pages to go. Wish me luck on conquering these challenges and I look forward to the Update Monday post. This has been your surrogate crazy signing off, live in let live.

#fridayreads and weekend challenge

The concept of #fridayreads came from Patrick, who tweets as @JustBethanne, in which people reveal what they are reading that Friday and over the weekend.

On this occasion of #fridayreads I will be attempting to read The Vampire Diaries Dark Reunion and Inheritance. Last Friday, I said I was reading both the Vampire Diaries the Fury and Inheritance and I am glad to say that I did finish the Fury, but not Inheritance. However, I am starting Dark Reunion and continuing the behemoth of Inheritance. Hopefully I can read a good chunk in book reads so, that I can move pass these and start fresh novels for next Friday. I doubt that would happen because of Inheritance being a huge volume of a book and Dark Reunion being read only at night.

This brings me to my feature of the blog of weekend challenges in which I challenge myself and my viewersthe Fury, but I didn't get to page four hundred in Inheritance. I love huge novels, but if I put one down and don't return in a couple of days its hard for me to pick up. On the other hand once I started a big book that is over five hundred pages I tend to read a big chunk in the story if not finish the story before putting it down for a couple of days. So, my challenge for this weekend is going to be a little relaxed that last weekend. I am challenging myself to read two chapters in both novels that I am currently reading. Now if you want to use the weekend challenge feature on your blog or vlog channel I am perfectly okay with you using it. If you want to give me credit or not for creating the weekend challenge feel free to include me or not, I just want people to read more. This has been your surrogate crazy signing off, live in let live.
to establish a goal to achieve during the upcoming weekend. The goals could be as small as reading chapter or reading the entire novel on the weekend. Last week I half achieved my challenge because I finished

Update Monday

Hello everybody and welcome to another fine Monday morning, afternoon or evening depending on when you are reading this post. Hell you could even be reading this a couple of months or years down the road from this very moment. With that mind here is a future hello with a past update Monday. Long winded introduction, but hey that is what blogging is about getting you to laugh a little at some random person typing at a keyboard. I know that there is serious blog out there, but I believe that blogging should be fun even if the issue is a serious matter. In my eyes and ears you should be able to laugh at your life situation and smile a little from day to day because it could presently be worse or get better so, just sit back read and laugh.

On this episode of Update Monday, during my post on Friday I participated in #fridayreads and started my weekend challenge theme. Now I am proud and disappointed that I accomplish one of the two goal I set for the weekend. The goal that I accomplish was finishing the Vampire Diaries: The Fury which was interesting and quite different from the show however I won't review this book until I finish the Vampire Diaries: Dark Reunion because its a bind-up. The other goal was to get to page four hundred in Inheritance, but I failed its not the end of the world so I get another weekend and another shot at achieve another challenge. That was my weekend. How was your weekend? This has been your surrogate crazy signing off, live in let live.

#fridayreads and weekend challenge

I have succumb to the mass and decided to post on the topic of #fridayreads. I think this is a great feature for any blog, vlog, twitter or any other form of social media because it helps to build that community that we all desperately want to build. The concept came from Patrick, who tweets as @JustBethanne,  was home with a broken leg and wanted to know what her Twitter followers were reading. From that point on I think it grew beyond what anyone would hope to amazed. To start of my first #fridayreads I am currently reading Volume 2 of the Vampire Diaries: The Fury and Dark Reunion and Book 4 of the Inheritance Cycle: Inheritance.


I am going to add to this #fridayreads phenomenon by suggesting some extra weekend challenges. Now, you don't have to follow along with these challenges, but I encourage you to participate in these challenging endeavors. When you read my weekend challenges you will probably think there aren't too challenging and that his some what the point. This weekend challenges is to finish the Vampire Diaries: The Fury and to reach page four hundred in Inheritance. Those are my challenges and the #fridayreads feel free to comment what you are reading or if you are participating in your own weekend challenge. Once again this has been your surrogate crazy signing off, live in let live.
